"It's this one," I wrote in my e-mail to Blow, "which seems so simple, and yet." I attached a photo.Ī lot of puzzles in The Witness look like that. You know in the back of your mind that it isn't, and you're just a failure. It's the thing you do when you've tried everything else and are considering, hubristically, that maybe the problem is with the game. I view this sort of thing-e-mailing a game developer questions about his difficult game-as a last resort. I'm wondering if you can tell me if I should be able to solve it or if it is dependent on me doing something else in the game first."
